I knew before I signed they wanted Pep Guardiola. Txiki and Ferran Soriano had worked with him at Barcelona. They talked with me three or four months before and said they were going for Pep, but if Pep wasn't going to be their coach, I was.
Pep then went to Bayern Munich, I worked there for three years and changed the style of Roberto Mancini, which is what they wanted, and they were successful.
It is not the same Manchester City as it is today. In the first year, we bought players, but in the second, we couldn't improve the team because we had a Uefa punishment. The third year we improved with Raheem Sterling and Kevin de Bruyne.
